Teacher practice encompasses a wide range of aspects pertaining to the work and responsibilities of teachers within an academic setting. This book focuses specifically on three fundamental aspects of teacher practice that directly impact student learning: the content taught by teachers (referred to as content coverage), the way teachers deliver instruction (referred to as teaching quality), and the approaches employed by teachers to assess their students’ progress (referred to as assessment practice). Despite the pivotal role these aspects play in shaping students’ learning experiences, their interrelationship remains insufficiently explored in existing literature. To address this gap, this chapter begins by examining the three aspects of teacher practice independently, recognizing the importance of understanding their individual contributions. These aspects form the pillars of a theoretical framework that serves as the foundation for the empirical chapters presented in this book. Next, the interplay among content coverage, teaching quality, and assessment practices in creating effective learning experiences is then examined. Finally, the chapter presents the theoretical model of Potential Educational Experiences. This model integrates the three aforementioned aspects, revealing a dynamic mechanism that links teacher practice with student learning outcomes.
